The main things you'll want to do are:
     1. load the data dump from your old system in to the new one, and
     2. configure Apache so that it behaves the same as your previous
        installation.

My usual process for this sort of thing is:
     1. dump data from the old database and turn it off (so no one tries
        to use it.)
     2. set up the new server, install the packages, set up
        koha-sites.conf, create an empty instance (sudo koha-create
        --create-db libraryname)
     3. load the data in (cat oldserver.sql | sudo koha-mysql
        libraryname will usually work. If not, sudo koha-mysql
        libraryname and then use \. to load the file - the second method
        is more forgiving.)
     4. edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/libraryname to reflect the
        configuration you want
     5. hit your staff client, especially important if there's a
        difference in the versions, as it'll run the database update
     6. Run koha-rebuild-zebra -v --full libraryname
     7. move the DNS entries for the library to the new one

That should be all it takes really. Obviously, replace libraryname with
the name of your library.
